Product Information

Full details

The Hiplok Switch Folding Lock is designed for cyclists seeking a secure and flexible bike lock with convenient carrying options. Its standout benefit is the versatile SWITCH system, allowing it to be worn on the body or mounted on the bike, eliminating the need to carry a bulky lock. A potential caveat is that its Sold Secure Bronze rating is best suited for lower-risk environments. This lock features hardened steel bars, durable steel rivets, an 85cm locking length, and folds into a compact unit for easy transport.

FAQs

What does Sold Secure Bronze mean?

Sold Secure Bronze is a security rating that indicates the lock has passed rigorous testing against common theft methods. It is generally recommended for lower-risk environments or for securing bikes during shorter stops.

How compact is the lock when folded?

The lock folds down to a very compact size, approximately 19cm long, making it easy to store on your bike, in a bag, or attached to your clothing.

Can I carry this lock with my water bottle?

Yes, the SWITCH system is designed to allow you to easily switch between carrying your lock and a water bottle, often using the same mounting point on your bike frame.

How do I get replacement keys?

The lock comes with 3 coded replacement keys. You can order further replacement keys by contacting Hiplok customer support with your key code.

Is the 85cm length sufficient for locking my bike?

The 85cm length provides good versatility for locking your bike to a variety of fixed objects. It's usually sufficient for locking the frame and one wheel to a standard bike rack or post.

What is the weight of the lock?

The Hiplok Switch Folding Lock weighs approximately 1.05kg.

Can I use this lock for motorcycles?

The Hiplok Switch Folding Lock is primarily designed for bicycles. While it offers Sold Secure Bronze security, it may not be sufficient for higher-value motorcycles, which typically require higher security ratings.

Troubleshooting

Lock is difficult to fold or unfold.

Ensure the folding joints are free from dirt and debris. Gently flex the lock back and forth. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

SWITCH Clip is loose on the bike frame.

Re-tighten the mounting screws. Ensure the bracket is positioned correctly on the frame tube.

Key does not turn in the lock.

Ensure the key is fully inserted. Try wiggling the key gently. Check that the lock is in the fully unlocked position. If the key is damaged, use one of the replacement keys.

Lock mechanism feels stiff.

Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole. Insert and remove the key several times to distribute the lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile carrying options with the SWITCH system.
  • Compact and easy to transport when folded.
  • Durable construction with hardened steel components.
  • Adequate locking length for most common scenarios.
  • Convenient on-bike mounting.

Cons

  • Sold Secure Bronze rating may not be sufficient for high-risk areas.
  • Folding design might be less secure than a solid U-lock.
  • Can be slightly heavier than cable locks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify your preferred carrying method: on-bike mount or body clip.
  2. For on-bike mounting, attach the SWITCH Clip system to your bike frame using the provided bracket and screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
  3. If using the body clip, simply attach it to your belt or bag strap.
  4. The lock itself slides into the SWITCH Clip. To remove, press the release button and slide the lock out.

Compatibility:

  • The lock is designed to fit most standard bike frames. The SWITCH Clip system can be attached to frame tubes where bottle cages are typically located, or other suitable frame sections.
  • The 85cm locking length is compatible with most standard posts, racks, and poles.

Care:

  • Keep the lock clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the folding joints and rivets remain free of dirt and debris to maintain smooth operation.
  • Store the lock in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust or corrosion.
  • Periodically check the moving parts and the integrity of the steel bars.
